Plan
An ordered sequence of steps to achieve a goal
Definition
Mechanism
An Artifact containing a structured Sequence of Steps designed to transition a System from a current State to a target Goal. Unlike a simple list, a Plan enforces causal dependency between steps and resource allocation, and tracks the attached Risks that may derail it.
Invariants
- Ordering: Steps must be causally sortable.
- Termination: Plan must have a defined end state.
Risks
Failure modes
None stated.
